Avri Gilad Describes Spiritual Festival Experience
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israeli TV host Avri Gilad spent his weekend at a spiritual festival held at Kfar Nokdim, a Bedouin village near Arad. Returning to his show "Avri and Sharqi" on Saturday night, Gilad shared details of an unusual activity he participated in, which he described as a "peeling workshop."

Gilad explained the process to his co-host Yair Sharqi, detailing how participants cover themselves in clay, which then hardens and is peeled off. He noted that the activity carries deep inner meanings, stating that it was pleasant and served as a metaphor for shedding the "layers" people carry and being authentic. He also related the experience to the "mental mud" people often find themselves in.

Beyond the clay and its symbolism, Gilad highlighted the absence of politics during his three days at the festival. He described the atmosphere as one where "normal Israelis just had a normal time." A screenshot from the event showed Gilad covered in clay, which remained on screen during the discussion.
